PISCATAWAY — "Jersey Shore" star Snooki appeared at two Rutgers University Q&A events Thursday night at the Livingston Student Center in Piscataway.

For the two sessions, the pint-sized reality TV celebrity will make $32,000, a few thousand more than what Rutgers University is paying Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison for this year's commencement address.

Morrison — author of "Beloved," "Song of Solomon" and other novels — is scheduled to speak before more than 10,000 graduates in May.
